To do a check of the safety-release mechanism
WARNING: Do not use a harness with a
defective safety-release mechanism.
The safety-release mechanism lets the operator remove
the product quickly from the harness if there is an
emergency.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Do a visual check for damages, such as cracks.
3. Release and attach the safety-release mechanism to
make sure that it operates correctly.
To do a check of the muffler
WARNING: Do not use a product with a
defective muffler.
WARNING: The mufflers become very hot
during and after operation, also at idle
speed. Use protective gloves to prevent
burn injuries.
The muffler keeps noise levels to a minimum and sends
exhaust fumes away from the operator.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Do a visual check for damage and deformation.
Note:
The inner surfaces of the muffler contain
chemicals that can cause cancer. Be careful not to
touch these elements if the muffler is damaged.
3. Make sure that the muffler is correctly attached to
the product.
4. If the muffler on your product has a spark arrester
screen, do a visual check.
a) Replace the spark arrester screen if it is
damaged.
b) Clean the spark arrester screen if it is blocked.
See
To clean the muffler on page 23
for more
information.
